The caption for this 1895 image reads: A man all eyes and stern resolve. It illustrated The Grey Lady by Henry Seton Merriman. Hugh Stowell Scott (1862-1903) was an English novelist (under the pseudonym of Henry Seton Merriman). He was an underwriter in Lloyd's, but having a strong literary bent, latterly devoted himself to writing novels, many of which had great popularity. He worked with great care, and his best books hold a high place in modern fiction.
